Ongoing reserach of the petrology group at Tübingen University focusses on three major topics: Fluid-rock interaction processes, halogen studies and magmatic petrology and geochemistry, mainly (but not exclusively) of alkaline, peralkaline and carbonatitic rocks. Obviously, all topics may be linked to each other, depending on the specific research project.

Fluid-rock interaction processes

Halogens in Earth’s materials

Magmatic petrology and geochemistry
